Whether you drive a Chevrolet, Ford, or Dodge diesel pickup, there will come a day when it’s time to ask the question - has the time come to get a new truck? Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc in Inman, KS is here to help you decide.

First, consider the issues at hand. Are they mostly concentrated to one area, like the engine, transmission, or suspension, that could all be solved by an overhaul of that area? If so, you might consider doing that - it’ll cost a lot less than a new truck, and keep you out of an expensive monthly payment and commitment.

Next, assess the overall condition. Trucks last a long time, and it’s rare that the whole thing is ready to be retired. Is it excessively rusty? Has it been poorly maintained, resulting in a multitude of needed repairs that can’t be feasibly taken care of? Is the mileage too high to justify the work? If the rest of the truck is in reasonably good shape, fixing it is probably your best option. If the whole truck is plagued by problems like rust and mileage related issues, replacing it may be the way to go. If you can’t decide, one of our technicians will be happy to take a look, and help you weigh out your options.  No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we’ve got you covered.

If you drive a Duramax, Powerstroke, or Cummins diesel, you’ve got a truck that’s built for power and reliability. Using these 5 rules, you can keep it that way. From Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc in Inman, KS, here are the keys to unlocking the secret of a finely tuned diesel pickup.

      1.) Keep your truck maintained. Regularly scheduled maintenance is the most important aspect of keeping your truck reliably on the road and running strong.

      2.)  Keep your truck maintained.  Oil changes at regular intervals are probably the most important bit of maintenance you can do. A little contamination can wreak a lot of havoc on your engine.

     3.)  Keep your truck maintained.  Getting work like brake jobs done before the problem gets worse or having a check engine light looked into before it turns into a real problem, will keep your truck in great shape and your wallet happy.

     4.)  Keep your truck maintained.  Wash your truck regularly to keep corrosion and rust at bay; mud, salt, and dirt accelerate the corrosion of parts and body panels dramatically. Trucks get dirty, that’s what they’re here for. Hose it down every once in a while, and keep it looking and working like new.

    5.)  Read your truck a bedtime story.  We’re just kidding, number 5 is keep your truck maintained. Regular maintenance doesn’t sound that exciting, but it’s truly the most important thing you can do for your diesel. Follow these steps, and you can rest assured for many miles to come.

At Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc in Inman, KS, we’re all about catching problems before they become bigger ones. If your pickup doesn’t start the first time you turn the key, every time, you’ve got a problem.

You may not think it’s a big deal - whether it’s every once in a while, every day, or every time you try and start the pickup. You turn the key, nothing happens; you turn it again, and it starts. It starts every time, so what’s the big deal?  There are a lot of factors that go into actually allowing your engine to turn over. The ignition switch, neutral safety switch, brake switch, modules, security system, wiring, starter, and relays all have to be in good working order - if one of them fails to do their job, your truck will fail to start.

At first, it may be nothing more than a minor inconvenience. If you let it go too long, however, you might end up stranded in a parking lot or without a ride to work. Any trouble is indicative of a failing component, and eventually it’ll fail completely. Fortunately, most of these issues are simple to diagnose and repair, with the right know-how and equipment. Our technicians can help.  No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we’ve got you covered.

Whether you drive a Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax diesel, your truck is a complex piece of equipment. Emissions systems, fuel systems, and systems you’ve probably never heard of all work together to keep your truck going strong. Sometimes, however, a warning light will pop up on your dash, and leave you wondering what’s going on. From ABS to Check Engine, Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc in Inman, KS has you covered.

Warning lights are irritating at best, and a problem at worst. “Check Engine” doesn’t tell you much, and once you pull the codes, often not much is clarified. It takes trained professionals to accurately decipher an engine code, find the part at fault, and figure out why it isn’t working right. Technicians like us, with the knowledge and equipment necessary to keep your truck on the road.

If a warning light shows up on your dash, don’t ignore it. There’s a good chance we can have the issue pinpointed and fixed in no time, keeping your truck in good shape and putting your mind at ease.  No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we’ve got your back.

One of the more annoying issues a truck will develop is a grinding or scraping sound when you hit the brakes. What is it, and how do you make it stop? Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc in Inman, KS has the answer.

If you only hear the sound when your foot touches the brake pedal, you need brake pads. Brake pads are essentially just a thick piece of friction material, which clamp down around your rotor to slow your car down. Initially, the scraping sound you hear is actually part of the design of the pads - there’s a metal strip attached to them that serves as an indicator, making noise to alert you the pads are getting low.

But, don’t ignore it just because it isn’t doing any damage yet. It won’t be long before all the friction material is gone, and the metal backing starts digging into your rotors. Changing your brakes when the only issue is the pads is quick and inexpensive; once you have ruined the rotors and other components surrounding the pads, things get more complicated.

If you need a brake job, don’t hesitate to let one of our technicians get you sorted out. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, we’ve got you covered. For the best diesel truck shop in Inman, KS, call or stop by Diesel Pickup Specialists, Inc today.
